As the major mass transit mode, rail transit has been continuously increasing with the increase of passenger flow. The pedestrian conflicts along the transfer corridor have become more and more serious. It is very important to make concrete quantitative analyses on the pedestrian impacts caused by the passenger flow conflicts and improve the situation by taking certain measures. In this paper, through using physiological test instrument, when the passenger density in the transfer corridor is large, we simulate the changes of physiological indexes caused by conflicts between pedestrians along the pedestrian crossing corridor. In addition, the change of the physiological indexes of the two group experiments is compared, and the concrete influence of the additional barriers on the pedestrian is analyzed too. The conclusions are helpful to optimize the facility layout and improve the capacity and safety of transfer stations.
